  • Microgenerator for hydrocarbon producing systems
    Patent number: 9083213
    Abstract: A microgenerator for use in petroleum distribution systems includes a casing defining an interior portion and an exterior portion. The casing has an opposed first support wall and second support wall coupled within an inner diameter of a cylinder containment wall. At least one fluid inlet penetrates the cylinder containment wall. The fluid inlet is fluidly coupled to an energized fluid source. At least one nozzle is fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet. The nozzle is configured to accelerate the fluid into the interior portion. At least one fluid outlet penetrates the cylinder containment wall. The fluid outlet is configured to discharge the fluid from said interior portion of the casing. An impulse turbine is located within the interior portion. The turbine has a first stator coupled to the first support wall and a second stator coupled to the second support wall opposite the first stator. A rotor is rotatably mounted between the first stator and the second stator on a shaft at a central axis of the rotor.
